Question

A shuttle bus makes 4 round-trips between 2 shopping centers each day. The bus holds 24 people. If the bus is full on each one-way trip, how many passengers are carried by the bus each day?

Answer 1

The bus makes four round trips, which means that it will go a total of 8 times: 4 times twice.

And on each of those 8 journeys, it will take with it 24 people.

So we have to multiply 24 by 8: this is 192.

so each day the bus carries 192 people.
